A similar prospect exists <br />with the Willowick Golf Course and presents opportunities to incorporate larger recreational features that <br />typically require more land. These include features such as soccer and cricket fields, space for large open <br />outdoor events, larger dog parks that can create two to three areas for different sized dogs, disc golf, <br />full-size basketball courts, restroom and concession buildings, natural areas for passive recreation, and <br />ecological improvements such as bioswales, butterfly gardens, bird habitats, and native plantings. <br />_ <br />A 50,000 square -foot skatepark was designed to accommodate both skaters and BMX riders with similar elements. <br />A custom children's play area referenced the local flora and <br />fauna, creating a popular destination for families. <br />The City of North Las 1 �+f,'1jjPT*W*,;e acreage inherited from <br />a former golf course to create an extensive regional park with sports <br />fields, skatepark, playgrounds, dog park and gathering spaces. <br />SANTA ANA PARKS MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 7: SITE RECOMMENDATIONS <br />
